9 Vicom Data Migration Service Service-based solution, not a product Key enablers: SAN synthesis and automation SAN Synthesis: Migrate data from any to any within SAN or between SANs Automation: Actual migration takes hours, not weeks! Vicom appliance removed, with no trace in servers, disks or SAN Proven in hundreds of enterprise migrations Page 9

10 Success Stories Page 10

11 Wells Fargo Provider of banking and financial products and services across North America and Internationally. Ranked 41 st in revenue by Forbes. Challenges Storage Refresh from Xiotech to NetApp, 40 servers 10+ TB. Migrate data center from production site to shore view, Minneapolis. Business requirements: outage window ( < 6 hours), schedule (many small migrations, 3-month project). Absolutely no agents or software installation, and wanted to test the solution before actual implementation. Support for legacy server (Novell Netware), Boot LUN migration and Xiotech storage. Remote migrated 19 servers data as of September 20. Winning Formula: POC, NetApp/Vicom collaboration, Openness to end user Page 11

12 Wells Fargo Deployment Customer Quote Really good news. Thank NetApp and Vicom so very much. Excellent work and tremendous effort. Partner Everything went very well, and Vicom handled their part of the work without any problems. It was obvious that Vicom people are knowledgeable and experienced (in data migrations), and their software tools and DME appliance all look to work very well. I have nothing but good things to report, and I would strongly recommend Vicom for other SAN migrations. - NetApp, Solution Architect Page 12

13 Assurant Premier Provider of specialty insurance and insurance-related products and services. A Fortune 500 company and a member of the S&P 500 Highlights Storage Refresh from HP EVA to NetApp, 10 TB data for 12 servers (Solaris & Windows). Business outage window cannot be more than 8 hours for each server. HP EVA storage lease expired, and customer was renewing the maintenance contract for past six months. HP EVA and NetApp are connected to different SAN. Migrate data in two data centers (Atlanta & Miami) in two different week-ends. Winning Formula: Reference, Live Demo, Explaining Vicom process Page 13

14 Assurant Deployment Customer Quote Thank you (NetApp and Vicom team) for helping us during the migration. It was flawless! - System Administrator/Project Lead, Assurant. Vicom demonstrated tremendous value of migration preparation. NetApp PS Consultant Page 14

15 Esurance Leading online auto insurance provider located in San Francisco. Founded in 1998, with more than 1700 employees nationwide. Highlights Storage Refresh from HP EVA to NetApp with in outage window of 16 hours. 6.3 TB of data migrated in 9 hours. Data migration accomplished in half the maintenance window Customer Quote The migration was excellent and went very smoothly, everyone involved were very professional and it was a job well done. Thank you all for the smooth migration! - Network Engineer, Esurance. Winning Formula: Success stories, reference, Explaining Vicom process Page 15

23 Vicom Migration Process Migration Best Practice Windows Boot LUN Migration 1. Update HBA BIOS, if needed. 2. Connect Server HBA to destination SAN (if source SAN is different from destination SAN). Zone (FC) server HBA and destination storage ports together. Configure LUN masking so that server can access LUNs from the destination storage. 3. If there are multiple paths to destination storage, connect only one path and temporarily disconnect all other paths. 4. Configure HBA BIOS setting such that HBA can recognize boot LUN from destination storage (by WWPN). 5. Bring-up server; boot from destination storage. 6. Install proper multipath driver (Snap Drive) for the destination storage, then shutdown the server. 7. Reconnect all other paths to the destination storage, and bring-up the system again. 8. Run chkdisk to verify the file system. 9. Examine log files (system, application) for errors and warnings. 10. Start applications and verify user data. Page 23
